You definitely should. Pant-wettingly funny.

I'm giving #5 another whirl at the moment. This was a morning-commute-stopper, too, when they get to the bit about making up their own Big Brother contestants.

"Billtong is a wiry Nigerian who's absolutely FURIOUS!..."

Eeeeyyy!!

Cheers for merely mentioning this, Stella! I'd totally forgotten about them - just doen a search and am indulging in a download frenzy! Hooray! Free comedy! Woo!





edit: Listening to 'Cast#1 now, most chucklesome! Can't wait for 'Cast#3... well, and #2 or course.

I think I've almost listened to all the Adam & Joe, it's excellent on the whole, but nothing yet to match the marvellous R Kelly stuff.

There's some headphone removing compose yourself bits when they're talking about airlines in a later episodes, and there's a fantastic bit about spam e-mails asking for your bank details.

I was listening to the spam emails one while waiting at the doctor's yesterday, and Adam's 'foreign swindler' voice had me cackling with glee. Also Joe's thicky voice, which trod the line of wildly innapropriate but utterly hysterical.

"Fellartio"

"You have been casually selected for this program"

Brilliant.

Wait till you hear about "Captain Bull".

If anyone wants to watch 'Trapped in the Closet' in full, you can find it on youtube.

It's perhaps the greatest work of art ever made, I even forgive R Kelly for that business with the 13 year old. Anyone with this much talent can't be all bad.

Ad&Joe #15....

"S'allkool!"

"What?! (Easy man...)"

"Don't mess wit' meh!"

"Stop it!"

"Crrriticalll!"


This will make a hell of a lot more sense after you've heard it. Sorry about that.

That one is fantastic - I still haven't listened to them all because I keep going back to the R Kelly episode.




Oh. My. God. You mean it is real?

I honestly thought it was too good to be true, and was merely some work of parodical genius - but hot damn, that is tonight's viewing sorted. Cheers Zee!

The World Cup discussion has been my most chucklesome bit. This morning, whilst at work. Oops. I particularly like Adam's excited/amazed sort of voice.

I'm seriously considering getting one of them DAB thingies.

I'm listening to some classic episodes of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue from BBC Radio 4's website. I utterly adore this programme and I'm chuckling like a buffoon.

"What do you do with a baaall? / Stick it in'a goal, Stick it in'a goal! / What do you do with a baaaall? / Stick it in'a goal, if you can't, faaahck off!"

There are only so many times I can say 'classic' or 'superb' or 'brilliant', but they're all true. Wickedy-bo!

The best bit of podcast 7 has to be the person ringing up for the Celebrity Regression Quiz who thought it was Jim Carrey.

Listened to adam and joe this morning it ws hilarious ripping it out of Robbie williams shit new song entertaing stuff!

I woke up especially to listen this morning, but made the mistake of getting back into bed after I'd turned my computer on.

This evening, the very radio show I contribute to as a bumbling half-cocked idiot will enter a new digital age (see signature). We'll be accepting e-mails in the studio, live to the radio desk, on a variety of matters, so I thought you 'orrible lot might be up for sending a few amusing bits and bobs in to us so we can steal your jokes and read your names (real) out on air.

Now, they've still not managed to get the actual e-mail address on the web page, but to avoid people screening the forum and spamming it, let's just say it's "Gobstopper" followed by "@bbc.co.uk".

It's with code skills like that that we won we Second World War.

Tonight's hot topics include:

- The lack of success of re-introducing bustards to the British countryside (chosen because we'll be able to say bustard a lot)
- A list of things you can put as manly, even though they aren't really that manly at all - e.g. putting bottles in the bottle bank. There was a thread I started on this a while back.....
- Tea and biscuits

You can also comment on anything else about the programme as you see fit:

"Your voice is more annoying than I thought it would be."
"You two can barely enunciate."
"This is shit."

I'm banking on you guys/gals. Bless you all.

I've had e-mails read out by Zoe Ball, Simon Mayo, Mark & Lard and Terry Wogan. Tonight, if I'm very lucky, my life will be complete.

Do you have any amusing catchphrases we could request?

No, but I think I should probably have a catchphrase.

Something like "Whoops vicar", but not so obviously crap.

i thought there was some kind of 'dragnet'-esque "just the facts" catchphrase...

We did have "there's no middle ground" for a while, but it didn't catch on.

I'm listening...all I have right now is the local news for Cleveland, which is slightly odd to hear about whilst sitting in my cubicle at work in the middle of Manhattan.
Gawd bless t'interweb.

It won't let me listen Some guff about a plug-in.




ED: it's alright, I was being a tool.

Yay! I heard your e-mail, Rach. We should both e-mail in asking for the same catchprase.

I missed it cos I was making a cup of tea - what did they say?

Hahah, aww. They wondered whether you meant York and not New York, then they discussed time zones briefly.

I've sent one in, and as a result ate my tea at my desk so I didn't miss it.

Eeyyy! They're reading your email now!

Oh, yeah, and they wanted to know what you had for lunch. But you know this now.

I just emailed them. I have to go into a meeting now anyway - hope you had fun, Shack!

Is it finished? Am I listening for nothing?

EDIT: guess not.

They were just wondering what the topping was - Bagel and falafel, with lots or Cwoarfee

I'm rather impressed actually. I was expecting some ramshackle (well, more ramshackle) two-bit affair, but it actually reminds me of Mark and Lard a bit only with fewer hand farts. Any show that plays Pulp, The Pipettes and Aztec Camera is alright with me.



Hee, ramshackle.

Thanks to all contributors last night!!!

I had a right old laugh, it was our best show for ages. I'm going to try and continue to put a bit more effort in and get more people to e-mail in, so thanks hugely for doing the doo last night Gimp and Windowspider.

I owe you both a pint or at least a slice of Mars Bar.

I'm not on for two weeks, but I'll keep you posted about the next hot topic of the day.

Whoop!

Good work, Shackalack. You can send my contributor's fee to me C/o Crutch Management Services.

And mock all you want, but you know you're going to try it some point. It actually tastes better that way.

I surely will. After tax and the BBC taking their lump sum, you'll probably end up owing us about £6.

I'm going to have sliced Mars Bar tonight while I watch a rented DVD. Just for you.

Sorry Shack, no internet access in the bedsit.

Everyone should start their weekends early by going to the 6 Music website and listening to the Pet Shop Boys and BBC Concert Orchestra concert (broadcast on Bank Holiday Monday).

It's brilliant.

It most certainly is. We went to see it being recorded and it was bloody marvellous.

I am most jealous.

Ah well, maybe when you get the dream house avec jardin.

Dave Gorman fans be advised: Series 2 of Genius starts this Thursday at 6:30pm BST on Radio 4. Marvellous.


I might actually manage to catch this series, which would be nice.

Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World is back on BBC7 - go to Wednesday's Listen Again for last week's episode. LNIW is Fist of Fun before Fist of Fun was Fist of Fun and used the Tom Baker Has a Posh Funny Voice comedic device a good ten years before Walliams & Lucas cottoned onto it.

I just listened again to Shack's radio show and I just realised he pretended he didn't know me. I'm offended. How could you, Shack? How could you?

*cries*

Ad&Joe #17's got a contest in where the caller has to identify which band names are real and which are fakes.

Buxton made this'un up, clearly, but ooh it's genius: Jihaddaway.

Hee, I did the same last night. Hearing my last e-mail read out (at 2 hours 30, Gimp fans) made me aware that I should try to improve my syntax a bit. Still, it got a fair few chuckles.

Woah there pickle! It's all about the audience conception I'm afraid. Having a listener in New York is better than having a friend who lives in New York mail in. Off air I was prattling on about how I knew you really. In time, you will become a true friend of the show I'm sure.

Please don't cry.



You were both excellent e-mail assistants. We'd gladly have you back.

No Shack on the show tonight as I'm working a bit later in Leeds. I'm sure there'll be glum faces all around.

Given how little I often have to do of an evening, it's practically a certainty.

Do you take requests?

It depends what for.

If for music, it depends it I or Fischer have a copy of it. The archive of records at local radio stations is barrel scraping to say the least.

Heehee. I'm only kidding, Shackeroos. I wasn't actually expecting you to say 'ooh, it's my friend off the internet' and ruin your image as a bottle-smashing man of cool.


I will certainly tune in whenever you're on as it's perfect post-lunch listening for me.

Have you mentioned the sitcom yet? Or just me? I'm not listening till you do.
